GEORGIA PRESERVES TIMBER.
The Georgia land owners are taking action to pre-
serve timber and the fact may be a suggestion to
land owners in other states. ''The present supply of
hardwood has almost vanished—but Georgia is com-
ing back, and when the second growth of our swamps
begins to come on, I think we will find owners more
than willing to conserve it and use proper methods of
marketing," said Bonnell H. Stone, president of the
Georgia Forestry Association, on his return form an
tour of the state recently. "Hardwood timber is
rapidly being cut out of the swamp areas of the State.
With the supply almost exhausted on the higher
lands of Georgia, lumberman everywhere have in-
vaded the swamp areas, and every hardwqpd tree
that is at all get-at-able is being cut down and trans-
ported to the mills to be made into lumber."
